Glade 2 Tutorial
Renartthefox writes "Rikke D. Giles has written a new tutorial for Glade II. Glade is a program designed to enable the quick building of graphical user interfaces for GTK+ and GNOME applications. However, it can be used with any desktop environment in linux, as long as the GTK+ and/or GNOME libraries are installed."
Finally, an article that defines what the thing is instead of assuming that we've all heard of 'Zxzzy Underlayer II.3M'.
Pah, Glade, when I was at school all we had was Visual Basic....oh...hold on...
GNOME has some wonderful technologies at it's disposal, but the documentation is crap. Reading someone else's code is not the best way to learn imho, and some decent documentation covering bonobo etc is just what the doctor ordered.
The problem with slashdot is that most of its users were bullied and stuffed into lockers as kids!
"Windows isn't intuitive, but because it's so popular, people have had to learn how to get work done and consistent interfaces across Microsoft applications helps this."
That's debatable. Microsoft provided a visual metaphor that people could associate with. From there, it was easy for people to grasp on to. For example, 'folder' makes more sense than 'directory'.
Though I agree with you that Linux is too hard and it needs a 'truely intuitive' desktop, I don't think you give enough credit to MS for the work they did on the Windows UI. Millions of people wouldn't have flocked to it if they couldn't figure out how to make it work. Windows wasn't always on top.
"Derp de derp."
Not trying to flamebait but it'll be a cold day in hell when Microsoft uses openGL over it's own DirectX technology.

If I'm not mistaken, enabling GTK2 doesn't get rid of XUL. XUL is essentially responsible for "describing" the UI, which is then generated using the GUI toolkit you enable. emerge'ing with WANT_GTK2 simply says that the XUL is ultimately rendered using GTK2 (instead of GTK1), not that it isn't used anymore.
Game... blouses.
> It's called google you dumb shit.
It's a valid question... and, Google sucks for finding things like this. Sorry. Trust me.. Google is going to miss a lot of things, or perhaps you would filter them out by your keywords.
"Subject" matter like this can be grouped under a directory, like Open Directori, Yahoo (if they maintained theirs anymore which they don't), LDP, etc.
Anyways, the best place to "find these things" is the FootNotes (GNOME) website.
I think it's funny how people keep associating GTK and Glade with Linux... like BSD, Sun, and Windows don't exist (GTK2 runs great under Windows BTW.. I'm having fun experimenting with PyGTK under both Linux and win32)
